TriangleMan(aka
Triangle Man) is the musical offspring of Jonathan Tyndall, who is the result
of a freak cloning mishap between Sting, Tim Robbins, and Patrick Swayze. Jonathan
plays just about every instrument imaginable, except the triangle, ironically.
Influenced by such diverse musical acts as They Might Be Giants, Crash Test
Dummies, Foo Fighters, Matthew Sweet, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Flaming Lips,
The Presidents of the USA, Devo, and Tripping Daisy, just to name a few, TriangleMan
is hard to categorize, and if one listens to only one song, it's easy to stereotype
them as "wacky comedy," or as "heartbreakingly serious" depending on which songs
one has heard. We figured "Rock Oriented" is the best category to put it in.

TriangleManis
based in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, tucked away in the sloping valleys
of the Appalachian mountains. It is the home to one of the greatest local railroad-tie
black-markets this side of the Tennessee River. Somehow managing to avoid falling
into this loathsome yet locally accepted lifestyle,TriangleManhas succeeded in breaking out of the mold to build up
an impressive catalog of songs that range from the absurd to the unfathomably
bizarre, from the traditional asian-polka-scottish-mariachi-ballad, and on to
the more common pseudo-novelty-rock that has made them a household name (among
households in which there are people who know who they are, and who speak of
them often.)

TriangleManhas
a long strange history, beginning in 1993 when the members numbered as high as
422, but soon realized that the task of profit sharing would be much easier if
the band were nailed down to just the bare essentials. Members have floated in
and out over the years, but Jonathan has remained at the core of what has primarily
been a studio project. Gigs have been sparse, and when fans get wind of a show,
they come out of the woodwork to get a glimpse of this musical oddity. On one
occasion, a fan even came with cookies in hand, as inspired by the song "Here's
a Cookie" from their first album. Yeah, it takes a weird band to breed that kind
of freakish fans. And TriangleMan is definitely up to the task. Hey, somebody
has to be, right? Anybody? Come on, are you even still reading this? Hello?
